Yes, BuSpar may help you. It did NOT act like an SSRI to me, I usually fall asleep and BuSpar was fine. I had other side effects that caused me to discontinue it, but they were different from anything else I've experienced on SSRIs.
I hope someone is teaching/has taught you relaxation techniques that may help you deal a little better. If not, find a good counselor and have them teach you. :)

> PANIC/ANXIETY ATTACKS!!
> My name is Cynthia. I am 20 years old and have been suffering from Panic attacks for 5 months now. I can't take it anymore. I am so afraid of DEATH but I cant deal with this pain any longer. I am afraid I am going to do something drastic to stop this pain. I went to the hospital yesterday and doc prescribed me BUSPAR! I dont have the $$ to fill it quite yet. i want to know a little more about it. I have tried PAXIL. The side effects are unbarable. I can't be on SSRI's. I cant sleep... panic attacks are even worse... throwing up. Then he put me on ZOLOFT....same crap! Here I am drinking my Chamomille tea waiting till my heart stops racing so fast and when I calm down. The reason for my panic attacks is that I had a drug overdose a few months ago.. COCAINE! Never again.... it was a real bad experience. Now I have been suffering from this ever since. IS BUSPAR good for somebody like me? Am I going to feel the same I felt on PAXIL and ZOLOFT????????????? Insomnia is the worst. I hate INSOMNIA!!! I CANT TAKE IT. Right now I am taking remeron to fall asleep. Will Buspar make my panic attacks worse? Paxil and Zoloft made my anxiety and panic attacks worse. Please write back and give me advice. I dont want to lose my mind and KILL MYSELF. Its so HORRIBLE. I think I am suffering worse than ANY Panic attack sufferer I have EVER MET! Please write back or advise me of a medication I should take! Which would be the best?? XANAX??
